The U.S. Department of Justice's case against Google Search went to trial last month , with the agency alleging Google unfairly used exclusive deals with mobile companies and browser firms to make its search engine the default for consumers.
The Wall Street analyst estimated that Apple earns between $18 billion to $20 billion a year from Alphabet for making Google the default search engine on Apple products.
Google has repeatedly rejected the DOJ's claims, arguing its search engine is simply a superior product relative to that of competitors.
Google Search didn't become the dominant search engine because of a tie-in with Apple.
